I'm not sure that's what I set out to do, to put myself in the line of fire.

I just was one of the only vocal ones.

Because there are more actors out there that could be speaking up.

Because I don't look like all Latinas.

There are Latinas that don't look like me, that need advocates

themselves, that don't see themselves in me. So I go behind the camera, I create opportunities

so they can see themselves because I can't always be that reflection. And one human being

can't represent an entire community. Gina Rodriguez has a lot to look forward to this year.

Her new movie, Miss Bala, is out in theaters,

and her Carmen San Diego reboot is streaming on Netflix.

Jane the Virgin, the television show that catapulted her to stardom,

is coming to an end after five successful seasons.

On the day we meet to record this episode, she flew to New York on the Red Eye from L.A. She spent the morning doing press and

being grilled about the perception that her advocacy has missed the mark. We talk about it all,

and what the past few years have taught her about herself, about family, and about what real power looks like in Hollywood.

I'm Alicia Menendez, and this is Latina to Latina.

Gina Rodriguez.

Yes, voice.

You like that? That's my special voice for you.

I really enjoy it.

Okay.

The last time I saw you, you were doing press for a little show called Jane the Virgin.
